Qualifications:  Any weed warriors who have attended at least one in-person training session.  We will be providing training on identification for the specific plants for this work session. Register here.

*Poison ivy is present at this site.  Volunteers should wear long pants and long sleeves and work gloves. SVT can provide non-latex gloves that can also provide protection against poison ivy.
